The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Loads of ways to stay in contact with teachers. Met my counselor once a year and she knows my name in the hallways. Choir and theater classes are amazing with chances for community service, good friends, and honing the craft! Anatomy elective was The Best Class Ever!!

I think the school should focus their budget on other things not just sports wise. A lot more diversity would be great as well. Students should be able to explore one another's cultures.

The nice thing about McQueen is that it has a smaller campus and engaged students. Overall, there's not many fights or drama, and the teachers and security do a really good job keeping the school a drug and vape-free space. The teachers have thus far been really good for a public school, but the fine arts and sports departments aren't amazing.
My son goes to Mc Queen and loves it! He’s in marching band and takes AP’s and honor subjects. Teachers and staff are great and takes time to listen to the students concerns. I’m glad we move to this neighborhood for my son to have a great school.
This school has gone down hill fast. Their only emphasis is sports. Academics is awful, they leave students behind in the dust and do not try and help ones who are struggling. Even the classes that are suppose to help the "struggling" students is more like a glorified daycare center designed to put...
Don't be deceived by the high ratings -- they were posted YEARS ago and are OUTDATED. The fact that this school has such a high rating is ridiculous. One thing you must know about this school is the order of their priorities. First, they care most about sports (especially football). Then they care a...
I've had two graduates from McQueen and two are there now. They have an excellent group of teachers and they offer great honors and AP opportunities. The music programs are top notch, probably the best in the state. Like many big high schools, there are challenges, as it feels less of a community th...
